Perhaps an ambush bug?:

One of the web sites I visited looking for pictures of the assassin bug
implied ambush bugs were part of the same general family. 

The video I came across made the assassin bugs look pretty disgusting. Who

I've added a cropped image of the orange bug to the gallery.  It's not
in the best focus but the large front legs are visible, which I don't
see on the assassin bug pictures.
